How do I add an amount type to a W-2 form?

An amount type is a dollar amount field found on a tax form. An example of an amount type is the social security wages field found on a W-2 form. When adding amount types, the selected amount type will be set universally for the payer.  Amount types cannot be set individually per recipient.
